The discussion revolves around executing a specific technique known as the vault slide or vault thief slide on different surfaces, specifically transitioning from a wall to a rail. The key challenge highlighted is the necessity of passing the hand behind the body while maintaining accuracy, which requires an adjustment in technique from prior executions. The movement of the legs also plays a vital role, differentiating between a lazy vault and the intended slide vault.
With the instruction detailed, the performer begins by positioning the left leg back, ensuring the slide vault remains active as opposed to a passive approach. Emphasis is placed on proper hand placement when switching sides, as inaccurately positioning the hand can lead to difficulties in maintaining forward motion. The reference to the common mistakes, such as the awkward hand wave experienced when not executing the move correctly, serves as a caution to focus on technique.
Overall, the key points of this execution method include the importance of correct body positioning; particularly how the hand should be placed behind the body for smooth transitions on the rail. The need for precise leg movement and maintaining forward momentum is crucial. Lastly, recognizing pitfalls, such as improper hand placement and the resulting awkward movements, is essential for successfully performing the vault slide.
Key Points:
- The vault slide technique requires accurate hand placement and body positioning to execute effectively on different surfaces.
- Proper leg movement is crucial for differentiating between an effective vault and a lazy execution.
- Awareness of common mistakes, such as incorrect hand movement, can help enhance performance and maintain forward momentum during the trick.
Perform a full slide-vault over a hip-height rail without making contact other than your hands behind you.
A standard scaffolding-rail width bar diameter or less. A flat railing is acceptable.
Start with the obstacle to your side and swing the outside leg up over the wall (as if doing a step vault from a twisted position).
Tuck the opposite leg underneath the first leg, similar to the ground position in level-1.
Place both hands behind you and make sure your hips are facing down the wall. The second hand will need to grab the rail without seeing the bar.
Keep sweeping the first leg over the rail and down on the opposite side with that foot first.
Keep the back leg tucked behind you until you've landed the first foot.
Repeat three times on each side.
